Higher Prices for Wool in the West
Medium WooIs Strong
at Boston. 9

New YORK, June 5.-Bradstreet's says
that no abatement of confidence in the fu-
ture of the wool markets appears at the
west, where prices average 2@3c per
pound higher than year ago, and on the
seaboard the tendency of values at last
is Enthusiastically upward. Yetthe volume
of business continues moderate. From
the standpoint of the woolen and worsted
manufacturers there is nothing to warrant
an advance in their raw material. Goods
are selling no better and yield no higher
returns than for three months past. The
situation is accordingly this: Dear wool
at the source of supply; dull market for
wool products. It is admitted that buyers
at the west are paying too much for the
staple On the basis of selling prices on the
Atlantic coast. The question now is
whether the eastern markets, in the face
of quiet woolen industry, are coming up
to, the country level, or whether wool for
which extreme payments have been made
at first hands is going to be sold for con-
sumption at loss. Buyers for Boston,
New York and Philadelphia houses ap-
pear to have restricted their operations
somewhat, and yet in the aggregate large
purchases, especially of medium wool,
have been made. Consignors to eastern
commission houses, and farmers generally
in the interior, are naming high minimum
prices. Will the manufacturers, in view
of all the forces which affect the value OF
their output be able to respond? This is
the problem to be solved during the next
few weeks.
ST. LOUIS QUOTATIONS.
In all parts of the west the new clip is
changing hands at last years prices or
better. Local speculations are active.
Here and In the south the markets 305c
higher than year ago. At st. Louis,
however, the earlier excitement has sub
sided, and, though quotations are no lower
standing at about 27c for choice medium
more discrimination is shown in pur-
chases.
California woods is coming east, largely
to manufacturers, by way OF the lsthmus.
Growers in Montana expect to benefit by
the protection against Pacific coast COM
petition which is afforded by the advanced
freight rates.
THE BOSTON MARKET.
At Boston prices have been marked up
this week though a greater part Of the list,
and fair amount of business has been
done on the higher plane. Holders have
shown more firlnness because it is evident
that their present stocks cannot be replac-
ed except at an advance, and manufactur-
ers have acceded to their demands because
as rule their supplies are short and the
material must be had. In the way of an
ticipating future wants little has been
done. All medium woods are particularly
strong; some descriptions from the Ohio
valley have gained as much as &c per
pound. Very little foreign wool is now in
the market. Current quotations are as
follows in comparison with last year:

At Philadelphia wool has been in better

are light, but generally in choice condi-

MIR. sUTHERLIN's OPINION.
HELENA, June 14-Hon. W. Fl. Suther-
lin of White Sulphur Springs was in the
city yesterday. He says the country about
the Springs never looked better, and
everyone is feeling cheerful over the pros
poets. As to Montana wool and the price
for 1887, Mr.. Sutherlin sees no reason why
it should not rate even higher this year
than in 1885, Activity in manufacturing
and general good times should be con-
sidered and also the fact that the stock of
foreign woods on hand is less than last
year For these reasons he thinks wool
prices should be above those of 1887. OW-.
ing to the heavy spring rains Montana
wool is much cleaner than year ago and
the shrinkage will be less, a fact which
should enhance its price.
MEDIUM WooLs NEEDED.
BosroN, June denny, Rice &
Co. state that attention is being directed
more to the country than the city. New
medium wools are sought for, and large
sales could be made if the wool were here.
There has been disposition on the part of
some buyers to purchase medium wools
ste arrive"
Montana fine wools are 21@22c; fine
medium, 21@23c; medium, 24@25c. The
sales for last week amounted to /, ,760, 400

Lumbar Statistics

CuIcAdo, Feb. 1.-THE Northpestern Lum-
bn'man in its issue Of tomorrow will print
statistics as TO the lumber trade for the
Northwest for 1885, with comparisons with
the product of former years The grand
total Of the white pine lumber product
of the Northwest for 1898 was 7,425,-
$4,000 feet. This is three hundred
and seventy million feet in excess Of
the preceding year, and is only slightly
short Of the total cut for the years 1882, 'S3,
"a. The greatest gains were in the older
milling districts The grand total of the
shingle product Of the Northwest was
4,577, ,53l, 900 shingles, which is a larger
showing than in any preceding year. Fig
ures are cited as showing that the maxi
mum annual lumber product Of white pine
districts has probably not yet been reached.
The stock Of lumber on hand at mills at
the close Of the year is placed at 3,05S, ,093,-
900 feet or one hundred and seventy mil
lion feet less than at the close of 1885, and
four hundred and fifty million feet less
than in 1884. The stocks of shingles were
thirty-five millions more than in 1885 and
two hundred million less than in 1884.

MICHIGAN FLOODS.
The Mad Waters Causing Great
Damage.
Buildings at Lyons Washed Away and tho
People Panic-stricken.

LYONS, MICH, Feb. 1.-THE flood here is
simply terrible. A panic has seized some
Of the people, and it is impossible TO get
estimates Of the losses. The water in some
places is four feet deep in many residences
and the same state Of affairs prevails in
store-rooms. Every body is moving, or
preparing to move. Up TO last night three
buildings had been washed away and de-
molished, and many others were
badly damaged. Alexander McFarlane's
family are sick and cut of from
assistance. The Herald Office has
been boated to higher quarters, but the
paper will be published as usual Rain
fell in torrents until about midnight, when
1t changed TO snow, and by daylight fully
eight inches Of snow and sleet had fallen.
There Is regular northeastern, with a
twenty-mile wind. The water has risen
two feet in the last four hours and is still
rising. The people are worn out working
night and day to save their property. The
Maple and Grand rivers unite here, and
both are raging. Should the Lansing ice
reach here before the gorge gives way all
the business places on the north side Of
Main street will be washed away. A rough
estimate Of the damage makes the aggre-
gate between $75,OOO and $4,000. Fred
Winters, Of Charlotte, was drowned when
trying to cross the Thornapple river.
THREE RIVERS, MICH, Feb. 11.-This city
is surrounded with water. ALI the shops
have been closed. The immense lumber
piles Of Roberts, Thorp q Co., and those
belonging to vosburg are af1oat The Lake
CNn = n
washed away.
owosso, MICH, Feb. 11.-At two o'clock
this afternoon the water was still rising.
Large quantities of lumber have been
swept away. The residences along the
river are flooded, and the inmates have
moved into the second stories. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the loss yet, but it
will run well up into the thousands.

Statement OF Young Woman, Who Says
Her Husband Was One of the McMunn
81 Rescuers, and Gives the Names of the
Others Who We're In the Fight.
MAssILLoS, o., Feb 19.-Late last night
a young, well-dressed and intelligent
woman went before Mayor Fratz and made
q voluntary and voluminous statement,
which is regarded as an important clew
TO at least the identity Of the thugs
who assaulted Hulligan and Hoehne at
Rayenna. She gave her name as Margery
Robinson, wife OF Edward Robinson,
nephew Of John Robinson, the circus man,
and says she was at Jennie Rogers house,
12S Third avenue, Pittsburgh, and assisted
to secrete the fur wraps stolen
from Benedict & Ruedy, Cleveland,
when they were taken there in trunks by
an expressman. Her story condensed is
that regularly organized gang Of crooks,
numbering nineteen, have made Rogers
house their resort, and that three of them,
Tom Hoddy, Joe johnson, Smith Carson
and her husband, went To Alliance, vim Ft.
Wayne road, the evening preceding the
rescue Of McMunn; that they returned to
Pittsburgh the following Monday and that
johnson, who was shot in the encounter,
went to Harrisburg and died there from
the wound. She says that
officers searched Rogers house
three different times while the furs were
there and that they were stored in cup
boards and an ice-box in the basement. In
explanation as to why she came here,
which was on Friday morning, to disclose
the tale, she said the gang had threatened
her life; that she did not intend from fear
TO give them away, but that after she came
out of the opera-house last night she saw
her husband, Hoddy and Carson on the
street and knew they were after her. She
appealed to the mayor for protection, and
gladly consented TO be confined in the city
prison, where she now is, and will be de-
tanned until Monday evening awaiting a
response from word sent to the chief Of
police of Pittsburgh. Minute descriptions
were given Of the trio, but diligent search
failed to find them. A lengthy interview
was had with the woman tonight. She is
undoubtedly of sound mind, and exacted a
promise that her name should not be used
in connection with any report of her state-
ment.

The Durham Irauedy.

WABASH, IND, Feb. l9.-Mrs. Henry Dun
ham, of Kosciuski County, whose family
was so horribly murdered last week,
to-day fully recovered consciousness
and sat up in bed. Her mind is clear al
last, and she told the story of the trag.
edy in clear manner, which left no room
for doubt The story is being carefully
guarded, but your correspondent heard
ON reliable source that it duplicates
Plew alone as the murderer. A mob is
ready to form at few moments notice
when Mrs. Dunham's story comes out,
which will march to Warsaw after Plew.
Sheriff Stevenson is prepared to repel
raiders with strong posse. The evil
dence against John Wiltcomb, who was
arrested yesterday as an accomplice OF
Plew, is rather fiimsy, and he will probab-
ly prove an alibi.

BT. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb 9.-To-night IRE was
discovered in the large livery stables OF
Jesse Arnot, at Ninth and Chestnut
streets. The flames spread so rapidly
among the combustibles that 1t was with
difficulty any Of the horses could be re-
moved. About forty animals were finally
extricated from the burning building, but
eighty horses were burned 10 death amid
the most pitiablc demonstrations Of

the fire broke out tho west wall
fell out, letting the upper floors
down, and several men were caught
